Teka Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Even though Sprint hasn't announced any plans for Windows Phone 8 devices I would like to see the Lumia 920. It compares similarly to the other top tier phones http://www.theverge.com/2012/9/5/3293500/nokia-lumia-920-galaxy-s-iii-iphone-iphone-4s-ativ-s-specs-compare but I'm interested in Windows Phone 8 since Android and iOS both seem a bit boring.

Bob Newhart Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I think if Nokia released these phones running Android, they would sell really well and could even save the company. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irev210 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 The interesting thing is they support FD-LTE @ 2600 Strange, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcharles718 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 The interesting thing is they support FD-LTE @ 2600 Strange, right? I think 2600MHz FD-LTE is being used by Teliasonera in Spain if I remember correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiWavelength Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 The interesting thing is they support FD-LTE @ 2600 Strange, right? No, not necessarily strange. Europe and Asia have (or will have) some band 7 LTE, which is LTE FDD 2500-2570 MHz x 2620-2690 MHz. But are you sure that the new Nokia Lumia devices support only FDD profile, not TDD? Europe also has (or, again, will have) band 38 TD-LTE, which is a subset of our band 41 TD-LTE. AJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigsnake49 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Yeah, HTC is making a lot of money in the android sphere. Same with Motorola, right? Nokia should have bought Palm. With Palm's software and Nokia's hardware, it could have been successful. I still like Nokia's hardware. At least they look attractive. Much more stylish than the GSIII. The GSIII is dipped in the sea of ugly;). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ I was just going off the nokia spec sheet (under hardware) http://www.nokia.com/global/products/phone/lumia920/specifications/ It specifically mentions FD-LTE but not TD-LTE, which I thought was strange considering the MSM8960 supports it.

S4GRU Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 The GSIII is dipped in the sea of ugly;). This is an extremely small minority opinion. I've not met one person who has seen my GS-III that has said it was ugly. I constantly hear that it looks sexy. Even most iPhone owners drool over the case design. However, I would think you would love the GS-III. It looks just like an iPhone, right? That's why I bought it. I can't tell the difference.

When Samsung does not copy the iPhone their phones are ugly. I like the new LG Intuition for Verizon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthias Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Nokia Lumia 920, WHY U SO BEAUTIFUL? You can't be a phone, you are ART! Ohhh, for those who talk about Android running on a Lumia phone, that would look ridiculous and silly. Nokia worked closely with Microsoft to design phones that melded with the Windows Phone interface. Suffice to say Android and Windows Phones interface doesn't look anything alike. Same goes for running iOS on a Lumia, would look silly also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mondays In Flames Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 What What they don't come in charcoal black? Your sarcasm... I didn't get it.... If that was sarcasm I mean o.o It's too early in the morning for me to be commenting again. But what I meant is that the material of the casings remind me of crayola crayons -Luis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's about as loud as a cheerleader using a megaphone.... I actually liked the red one, but yeah, not for two years lol xD -Luis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
